Domingos Tótora‘s
natural fiber creations are some of the most imaginative and inspired
designs we’ve seen. Driven by a passion for preservation, Tótora draws
inspiration from natural landscapes to create a collection of home decor
pieces from natural fibers and pigments. His work embodies sustainable
ideals with natural materials, and reflects organic processes and cycles within a fresh, contemporary context. Previously exhibited at Maison & Objet and part of the TOUCH collective, these imaginative designs are one of our favorite sustainable design springtime finds.
Tótora’s pieces are modern and timeless, and embody forms and colors
from nature’s palate. Each handcrafted work is manufactured by a
cooperative of Brazilian artisans known as Gente de Fibra,
which Tótora founded in 1998. The coop brings this grounded designer’s
visions to life, while supporting a thriving economy that celebrates the
craftsmanship and skills of local artisans.
Tótora’s pieces use natural materials such as craft paper, natural
pigments and banana fiber. In each design is a reflection of the shapes,
forms, textures and hues of nature’s landscapes. Circular patterns,
earth tone finishes mixed with a master craftsman’s hand, these
inspiring designs are an effortless interpretation of the natural world.
